Editorial Reviews
Review
The strength of Dr. Barnhill's text lies in its' clear presentation, liberal use of succinct charts and tables ('precis') to illustrate salient clinical and histopathologic features, complete and up-to-date references with a useful cross-referenced index... The considerable time and effor expended by the author in this endeavor is quite evident. Pathology of Melanocytic Nevi and Malignant Melanoma should become a requisite addition to the reference library of the diagnostic histopathologist, whether general pathologist or dermatopathologist. -- Human Pathology, December 1996 The strength of Dr. Barnhills text lies in its 'clear presentation, liberal use of succinct charts and tables ('precis') to illustrate salient clinical and histopathologic features, complete and up-to-date references with a useful cross-referenced index'.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The best review of melanocytic lesions,
By LDG in Montgomery (Montgomery, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pathology of Melanocytic Nevi and Malignant Melanoma (Hardcover)
I humbly think this text, which can also serve as an atlas (great photos--many in color), is the finest available review of melanocytic lesions. Pricey, but a wonderful, conside book.
